Today is one of those days where I feel like locking myself in my room with a lot of chips and salsa, a stack of Star Trek novels, and the Raiders of the Lost Ark trilogy on DVD. Plus a crapload of other sci-fi I've been in the mood to rewatch lately.

Just sayin'. Having said that, I think I will try and wrassle the kids down (one of them is sick, so my battle may be half won) and watch Raiders tonight. Is is me, or do kids have much less of an attention span these days? I wasn't much older than Will is when I saw Raiders in the theatre, and I was rapt. I can't even get through 20 minutes on DVD at home before I'm the only one left on the couch, saying, "What? What?" as they drift off to obviously more important things. I blame video games. Then again, I'm feeling very much like the old guy yelling at the kids to get off his lawn today. And for that, I blame this stupid cold.

Regardless, Indy and I have a date tonight. Belloq - we're coming for you.
